Cute chick lit. Emily's jerk of a husband dies and she finds out their marriage wasn't what she thought it was. Her dead husband Sandy is given a chance to make things right and "help" her by becoming a dog she names Einstein. Yea, kinda far fetched. The details of NYC and the historic Dakota apartment building are good.

I have to admit when i seen the cover of the book I had to read it. When I started this book I wasn't sure id like it. The plot was a little far fetched for me and not what I expected it to be so I stopped reading it for a few days. I picked it back up and something about it made me continue reading it and I'm glad I did. Excellent book

I FOUND THIS ON LINE @ Amazon.
It's definitely easier to understand than a rambling review.

Sandy Portman who is attractive, smart, and charming lives the high life on the Upper West Side of New York City. He falls in love with the pretty, idealistic Emily, they get married but their marriage is cut short when Sandy is killed in a tragic accident.
Upon his death, Sandy meets an angel who gives him the ability to rectify his sins -- of which,there are many. He returns in the body of a dog, "Einstein", at the animal shelter where Emily works.
Emily, meanwhile, must cope with not only the loss of her husband but also the news that she is on the verge of being kicked out of their apartment.
Sandy works to right his wrongs and help Emily move on, even when it appears she might be moving on to another man. The pace of this novel is somewhat abrupt, and the characters at times overly stereotypical, yet the twisting plot and fantastical nature of the story make it an interesting tale of love.

This was a fun read- not great literature by any stretch of the imagination, but perfect for a rainy Saturday!

This was a wonderful, yet unusual book about love, loss, courage, rebirth and a soul's growth. It is told through the eyes of a little dog that is now inhabited with the soul of a recently deceased gentleman. He has many lessons to learn before he can move on. He ends up living with his (the deceased man) ex-wife. This is a must read!
